"Th-this..."
At the Presidential Tribune of Allianz Arena, when Heness saw Yang Yang take off his long-sleeved training top, sprint forward, and rush to the touchline, his face was filled with shock and disbelief.
Rummenigge was no better. He turned to Van Gaal, and the Ajax Technical Director looked equally innocent. "I don't know... I really don't know!"
Van Gaal truly did not know, but he was secretly rejoicing inside.
At this point in the match, anyone could see that Ajax and Bayern Munich were evenly matched.
Considering that their overall squad strength was far inferior to their opponents', the fact that they had managed to fight the Bundesliga giants to this point was largely thanks to Yang Yang's tactics. Even when responding to Bayern Munich's adjustments during the match, Yang Yang had not been at a disadvantage.
Kovac had already made two substitutions, after all, but neither had produced any effect. This was Yang Yang's first substitution.
Yet no one had expected him to substitute himself on!
Ha, the head coach finally couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't bear watching the players waste their chances!
They could overlook the two excellent chances missed in the first half, but Ajax had also squandered one in the second half. Neres had crossed from the left, and Jović had attempted a volley at the edge of the penalty area, only to miss the ball entirely and waste a shooting opportunity from point-blank range.
There was no denying that Ajax's performance tonight had been dazzling, but they still needed to reflect on their failure to capitalize on their chances.
Especially their missed opportunities.
Of course, considering the team's age, it was understandable.
"No wonder..." Heness said worriedly.
That was Yang Yang!
What kind of threat would Yang Yang's appearance pose to Bayern
